Measures for developing probiotics biofilm for pathogen infection control

Abstract:

Biofilm is a special way for bacteria to survive. Antibiotic resistance, recurrence, and transfer of biofilm infection are urgent problems to be solved in clinical practice. Probiotics, as part of the microorganisms in the host, can restrain pathogens via a variety of ways. This paper summarizes the mechanisms of probiotics biofilm against pathogenic bacterial biofilm, and further reviews the measures for improving the research method and enhancing the stability of probiotics biofilms and developing new probiotics biofilms.
